Not actually a page number request, but this is probably the best place to ask the question

Like the topic line says, this isn't actually a page number request, but rather a question regarding page numbering.
As per the manual:
"number of pages

This field is for entering the number of pages of a book. Page numbers should match the page numbers as listed in the book, and should include all content except for advertisements and preview chapters for other books. Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions. For audio books, the number of hours rounded up should be used in lieu of number of pages."

Question: Does the introduction, usually marked with Roman numerals, count in the page numbers?
eg. As noted above, if a book has 100 pages of content, and 10 pages of index, the last page is 110, and the book has 110 pages on Goodreads.
If a book has 100 pages of content, with chapter 1 starting on page 1, but there are 10 pages of Roman numeraled introduction before chapter 1, should the book be listed as having 100 pages or 110 pages?

Thanks for the help, I hope I've explained this clearly, and please let me know if I should move questions like this elsewhere.

No. Users should be able to enter what page they are on without having to do arithmetic to figure it out.

(Moved to the correct folder.)

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed as much, but wanted to make sure :)

Always a good idea. :)
